This Video is called Where RV's Go To Die
It is a salvage yard where RV's that have been damaged, had an accident because dated tires failed, fires, etc, are taken and stripped for parts.

FIRE
Here are some examples of fire damages, motor fires, generator fires, refrigerator damages, heater damages, and shows how the fire may expand inside a enclosed space.

Motor damage, though most of these are rear engine units, the fire goes through them similarly as they would go through a GMC. This is also including the Generator fires.

TIRES GETTING OLD
The comment was that some of the tires get dated or expire a working age, they suggest 6 to 7 years, and the tire simply fails, and causes the accident.

The result of the Fires, or the tires blowing out or the general body being torn apart from an accident is evident in the video.
If you feel this has nothing to do with GMC motor homes, please move to the next message. I felt it may have something to learn about for us so I am posting it for educational purposes.
